...Research Article Analysis CJA/334 05/02/2016 Introduction There are many research studies that are done covering a variety of issues across the country, knowing how to dissect a research article is a great way to learn new information while honing your own research skills. In this paper, we're going to look a research study from a professional journal that has been peer-reviewed, along with answering various questions about the data collected, results of the study and design of the study. The study we're using is: Exploratory Study of the Relationship between Poverty and Crimes in Albany/Dougherty, Georgia by Nwaokoro, Amaechi N., Marshall, Clifford, Mittal, Shiwam, Journal of Business & Economics Research, 2013. Purpose of the Study For many communities it's easy to say the worse parts of town breed crime. Poor people are the ones who break the laws, they're the ones that need to be kept away from the higher class citizens. Is this really true? In some communities, it just may be. The purpose of this study was to determine if in fact poverty causes crime. Does a person's financial state and area of housing cause push that person into a life of crime? Another purpose of the study is to show if the area in question, Albany/Dougherty Georgia, had over time seen their crime rates rise as the population rose. Design of the study The design of the study is the Case Study Design, where a number of different factors are studied in the process of...

...The purpose of this research study was to examine gender differences with regard to domestic violence and if having been a victim of domestic violence or witnessing it at a young age has any influence on the probability of becoming a perpetrator of domestic violence or a victim of it later in life. Previous research has narrowly identified males as aggressors of domestic violence and has failed to identify females as a domestic violence perpetrator outside of the realm of self-defense (Kernsmith, 2006). The study seeks to discover if having been a female victim of abuse or a witness thereof has any influence on the propensity to behave violently in familial or dating relationships. Study Design The design of the study was cross-sectional and represented a multitude of demographics from across Los Angeles County. The culturally diverse group of participants ensured the data collected would remain bias free. Administered by a facilitator who read the questions aloud, each participant answered the same questions simultaneously. According to Kernsmith (2006), “Both the Los Angeles Probation Department and General Campus Human Subject Protection Committee approved these procedures prior to beginning the study” (p. 166) Operational Definition The administered questionnaire contained questions that would elicit direct responses regarding the witnessing of domestic violence during childhood, being a victim of abuse, or a victim of physical domestic violence. Questions also inquired...

...Module: Business Analysis and Assessment Week: 06 Discussion Question Name: Sahr Dauda Date: 18 July 2012 Question: How would you justify spending time and money on a business analysis of your company? Can such an exercise really pay off in ways that make it worth the effort? Analysis, as summed up from my readings, can be regarded as a clinical and structured decomposition of a subject into its constituent parts with the aim of acquiring salient information and deeper understanding of the said subject and to offer robust solutions for improvements. It is thus a process that is inherently iterative and involves, as proffered by Williamson et al., (2004), lots of research to gain deeper insight into the business which encompasses all aspects of the business and its environment. In short, it is a holistic process that unearths the secrets of the business and identifies areas needing attention. It thus seeks to find answers to questions like where is the business now, what does it do and how does it do it, where does it want to go and how can this be achieved (Williamson et al., 2004). Yes, it consumes time and money but insights so garnered from the analytical process leading to formation of strategies will give the business a favourable competitive position and superior profitability. To reduce time and money spent, analytical tools are used to aid in the process, besides bringing structure to it. Note here that only the right necessary tools are used, as a few too...

...Introduction The 2004 article by Dellande, Gilly and Graham called “Gaining Compliance and Losing Weight: The Role of the Service Provider in Health Care Services” aims to demonstrate that compliance leads to goal attainment, therefore increasing satisfaction. Their findings show that attitudinal homophily and expertise plays a role in defining the customer role clarity, ability and motivation. The 2010 article by Kasabov and Warlow called “Towards a new model of customer compliance service provision” aims to identify and examine the practice of re-designing service failure recovery and complaint management. Their findings suggest that that the traditional “customer-centricity” model is being replaced by a “customer-compliance business model” of service provision. The 2007 article by Dellande and Nyer called “Using Public Commitment to Gain Customer Compliance” aims to investigate the role of public commitment in gaining customer compliance in a long-term service when the customer is away from the provider. Their findings suggest that motivation is the key customer attribute in gaining compliance. Critical Evaluation of Methodology Used The research design used in Dellande, Gilly and Graham’s article is mentioned as being Cross-Sectional Design, which is defined by Bryman and Bell (2011) as a design which entails the collection of data on more than one case and at a single point in time in order to collect a body of quantifiable data in connection with the two...

Choi ∗ , Mei Li Department of Supply Chain Management, W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-4706, United States a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Our study examines the state of qualitative case studies in operations management. Five main operations management journals are included for their impact on the field. They are in alphabetical order: Decision Sciences, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Operations Management, Management Science, and Production and Operations Management. The qualitative case studies chosen were published between 1992 and 2007. With an increasing trend toward using more qualitative case studies, there have been meaningful and significant contributions to the field of operations management, especially in the area of theory building. However, in many of the qualitative case studies we reviewed, sufficient details in research design, data collection, and data analysis were missing. For instance, there are studies that do not offer sampling logic or a description of the analysis through which research outcomes are drawn. Further, research protocols for doing inductive case studies are much better developed compared to the research protocols for doing deductive case studies. Consequently, there is a lack of consistency...
